Buying face time

George W. Bush has denied any friendship or relationship with Jack Abramoff, the Republican lobbyist – and supporter of Zionist extremists – currently embroiled in a corruption scandal. It now appears that the president is lying. Time reports:

“Time has seen five photographs of Abramoff and the President that suggest a level of contact between them that Bush’s aides have downplayed. While Time’s source refused to provide the pictures for publication, they are likely to see the light of day eventually because celebrity tabloids are on the prowl for them. And that has been a fear of the Bush team’s for the past several months: that a picture of the President with the admitted felon could become the iconic image of direct presidential involvement in a burgeoning corruption scandal like the shots of President Bill Clinton at White House coffees for campaign contributors in the mid-1990s.”

It is virtually inconceivable that the US President had no contact with Abramoff, considering his influence in Washington. A report from USA Today in May 2005 stretches credibility even further:

“In President Bush’s first 10 months, GOP fundraiser Jack Abramoff and his lobbying team logged nearly 200 contacts with the new administration as they pressed for friendly hires at federal agencies and sought to keep the Northern Mariana Islands exempt from the minimum wage and other laws, records show.”

These continuing revelations should sink Bush and his corrupt Republican party – if the quagmire in Iraq does not – but it all depends if the mainstream media accepts the likely calls of plausible deniability.
